Why a quiz built from your own reading beats a generic one

Ready-made vocabulary quizzes are easy to find, but they rarely use the words your class or reading actually covers. A free online English vocabulary quiz built from your own text tests the exact terms you need, so you spend time on words that matter for your course.

  • Test word meaning with multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions
  • Review missed words with explanations that show how each term is used
  • Build quizzes from word lists, reading passages, slides or photographed pages
  • Study free in the browser, then upgrade if you need more generations or exports

Frequently asked questions

How many vocabulary words should I put in one quiz?

Start with 15 to 25 words from one reading or unit. Smaller sets are easier to review in a single sitting and make it clearer which words you still miss.

How often should I review new vocabulary to remember it?

Review new words within a day, then again after a few days and about a week later. Spaced repetition automates this schedule so you do not have to track it yourself.

Does the free plan let me download my quiz?

The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports. PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export are available on Plus, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. You can start on the free plan with 3 generations per month without a credit card. Students with a school email get 40% off Plus.
